SharePoint 2013

Had a small issue with my SharePoint 2013 MySite today, I could not update a User Profile in Central Admin – this is what I got from the ULS Log: ULSViewer: The exception is pointing us in the right direction. The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.LMTRepopulationJob (ID 104963a2-b53c-4476-bc23-fa7d6453e42f) threw an exception. More information is included below. Unexpected exception in FeedCacheService.IsRepopulationNeeded: Cache cluster is down, restart the cache cluster and Retry.

the My Links “vanished” in SharePoint 2010 – they were no longer visible. The Problem: Some clients heavily utilize those server-side favorites. SharePoint 2010 The links are stored in the Database and the controls to manage the favorites and the page for that is there. Luckily the migration from SP2007 to SP2010 migrated the links, too. Just the control in the ribbon was missing – but there is a very good codeplex solution for that.

Here a small script to provision the Business Data Connectivity Service Application-without ugly GUID in the database name. Add-PsSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue #Settings $ServiceName = “BDC Service” $ServiceProxyName = “BDC Proxy” $AppPoolAccount = “demo\spservices” $AppPoolName = “SharePoint Services App Pool” $DatabaseServer = “sp2013” $DatabaseName = “SP2013 BDC” Write-Host -ForegroundColor Yellow “Checking if Application Pool Accounts exists” $AppPoolAccount = Get-SPManagedAccount -Identity $AppPoolAccount -EA 0 if($AppPoolAccount -eq $null) { Write-Host “Please supply the password for the Service Account.
